ZIONIST

Before delving into ancient history and legal title to the land it's important to note that by the early 1800's, Israel had, essentially, been abandoned. This began when Jerusalem suffered a physical desolation in 70AD when the Romans sacked Jerusalem and threw down Herod's Temple - every stone - just as Jesus had prophesied, and killed over a million Jews. The Romans went on to kill over a half of a million more Jews during the Bar Kochba Revolt less than 70 years later. And as if the following 500 years of continuing persecution of God's people as the Roman Empire declined wouldn't have been enough, an additional 1200 years of physical and spiritual desolation was in store, after Muhammad's followers seized Jerusalem in 639 while in the process of conquering nearly the whole known world during the Islamic First Jihad.

During that 1200 years of spiritual desolation of the Holy Land, and as if they had intended to further perfectly fulfill prophecy by completing the physical desolation as well, the harem keeping geniuses running Islam's Ottoman Empire imposed a tax on property based on the number of trees it contained. The predictable result was that folks cut their trees down to reduce their tax burden, resulting in the loss of millions of trees, and subsequent desertification. Thus the spiritual and physical desolation of Jerusalem was complete by the early 1800's - in spades - as further evidenced by a near-nonexistent population.

In "A History of the Jews" Paul Johnson writes on page 321: "Between 1827 and 1839, largely through British efforts, the population of Jerusalem rose from 550 to 5,500 and in all Palestine it topped 10,000 - the real beginning of the Jewish return to the Promised Land. In 1838 Palmerston appointed the first western vice-consul in Jerusalem, W.T. Young, and told him 'to afford protection to the Jews generally'."

Even 30 years later in 1867 Mark Twain described it as: “ ...[a] desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds-a silent mournful expanse....A desolation is here that not even imagination can grace with the pomp of life and action....We never saw a human being on the whole route....There was hardly a tree or a shrub anywhere. Even the olive and the cactus, those fast friends of the worthless soil, had almost deserted the country.”

Jerusalem growing from a population of just 550 to over 3/4 of a million people, with the population of Israel growing from 10,000 to over 7.8 million. That tiny strip of land emerging from total desolation as the Israelis advanced as world leaders in agricultural innovation and technology. The Gush Katif greenhouses alone produced about two hundred million dollars worth of exports per year.

If you are looking for a fairytale ending you're in for a disappointment. These industries were located on the Gaza strip, that the Israelis developed from desert wasteland, over the last half of the 20th century. Secular international powers then brokered a deal in which the Gaza strip was to be handed over to the so-called "Palestinians", in exchange for yet another empty promise of peace with the Israelis, by Muhammad's followers that are committed to destroying the "People of the Book" just as Muhammad mass murdered them, while also enslaving some, and confiscating the fruit of their labor back then as well.

The Gaza Strip's new owners, were to take over the operation and profit of the greenhouses but instead, predictably, plundered, destroyed and abandoned them. Rather than producing food and flowers for export, the "Palestinians" instead used the Gaza strip as a platform - now closer to Jerusalem - from which to launch thousands of rockets randomly into Jerusalem, as capable of hitting schools and hospitals as anything else.

I wonder how many "Christians" funded that "charity" believing they were helping "Palestinians"? Is it really a stretch to believe that funds sent to aid Palestinians are fungible, funding both welfare and bombs? Who keeps track of such funds, the interior minister of Hamas?

"Hamas turned the site into a barbed-wire enclosed terror training camp from which Qassam rockets were launched into Israel. Signs posted in Arabic state that it is a "closed military zone." Mahmoud al-Zahar, chief of Hamas said that Hamas planned to launch terror attacks that would drive Jews out of the West Bank and the entire state."

".... terror only intensified when Israel completely and fully withdrew from the Gaza Strip, when it handed it in full to the Palestinians! They of course find it easy to forget that it wasn't until two years after the withdrawal, two years of continued rockets that a blockade was put up to prevent the smuggling of these rockets, of these weapons."

Besides being highly productive as an inherent part of the nature of Jews, another reason the Israelis have been able to become so innovative, productive and prosperous, as compared to their Islamic neighbors, is because they are the only democracy in the Middle East that champions the freedom and right to self-determination of its citizenry that also shares our western values. That's also why Muslims enjoy more freedom in Israel than they do in any Islam controlled country on earth.

Genesis 12:2-3 And I will make of thee [Abram] a great nation, [Israel] and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

When was the last time you bought something that was made in the Middle East - except for crude oil - and even that was produced by foreign companies from democratic nations. This is because, rather than joining the rest of the world in striving to create a better life for future generations, the leaders of Muhammad's followers focus on denigrating Jews and spending their wealth on arms and armies to kill them, wipe them out to the last, and "drive them into the sea". These are true, fundamental, followers of Muhammad, and leaders of Islamic nation states and mosques, that get Islam and do what they can to do as Muhammad did.

Qur'an Sura 33:26 "Allah took down the People of the Scripture Book. He cast terror into their hearts. Some you slew, and some you made prisoners. And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods, giving you a land which you had not traversed before. And Allah has power over all things."

Ishaq:461 "After the siege exhausted and terrorized them, the Jews felt certain that the Apostle would not leave them until he had exterminated them. So they decided to talk to Ka'b Asad. He said, 'People of the Jews, you see what has befallen you. I shall propose three alternatives. Take whichever one you please.' He said, 'Swear allegiance to this man and accept him; for, by Allah, it has become clear to you that he is a prophet sent from Allah. It is he that you used to find mentioned in your scripture book. Then you will be secure in your lives, your property, your children, and your wives.'"

Ishaq:462/Tabari VIII:30 "The Jews said, 'We will never abandon the Torah or exchange it for the Qur'an.' Asad said, 'Since you reject this proposal of mine, then kill your children and your wives and go out to Muhammad and his Companions as men who brandish swords, leaving behind no impediments to worry you. If you die, you shall have left nothing behind; if you win you shall find other women and children.' The Jews replied, 'Why would we kill these poor ones? What would be the good of living after them?'"

So the alternative offered to abandoning the Torah and the faith of their forefathers of a couple thousand years and praying toward the land of their prophets and patriarchs - to instead spin around to the opposite direction and prostrate themselves toward the Quraish pagan's black stone idol in Mecca five times a day - was to kill their own wives and children conspicuously abrogating Muhammad's "no compulsion in religion" drivel.

Bukhari:V5 B59 #448 "They then surrendered to the Prophet's judgment but he directed them to Sa'd to give the verdict. Sad said, 'I give my judgment that their men should be killed, their women and children should be taken as captives, and their properties distributed.'"

Tabari VIII:35/Ishaq:464 "The Jews were made to come down, and Allah's Messenger imprisoned them. Then the Prophet went out into the marketplace of Medina (it is still its marketplace today), and he had trenches dug in it. He sent for the Jewish men and had them beheaded in those trenches. They were brought out to him in batches. They numbered 800 to 900 boys and men."

Ignoring, much less supporting, the global menace Islam poses at the expense of the "People of the Book" in Israel, is acting through more blind ignorance than anti-Semitic Germans who didn't care about Hitler and the Islamic Grand Mufti of Jerusalem's holocaust, because they hoped it would only effect Jews.

In the following photo Islam's Grand Mufti of Jerusalem - Haj Mohammed Effendi Amin el-Husseini - gives the old "sieg heil" to the Islamic troops in the service of Nazi Germany, toward the shared goal of genocide of Jews, including two Islamic panzer divisions in Hitler's army. The anti-Semitism perhaps newer to Nazi Germany, but consistent with a 1400 year history of genocide of Jews in Islam, beginning with Muhammad's mass murder of them.

Quran Sura 9.111 Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah. then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.

WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ZIONISM, just as ISLAM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISRAEL beyond Muhammad's bizarre tale of riding on a flying donkey-mule-like animal one night from Mecca to Jerusalem, while declaring that he prayed in the temple that had been torn down over 500 years prior to his claim, with the next leg of his fanciful flight taking him up to "paradise" and then back to Mecca by morning.

In Muhammad's religion belief in the final hour - which is the last day - is so important it is frequently mentioned simultaneously with belief in "Allah" as in Sura 2:8 "We believe in Allah and the last day;". What activity are Muhammad's followers to be engaged in as they anticipate "Allah's" final judgment upon them?

Bukhari, V1 B2 #24 Narrated Ibn 'Umar: Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform a that, then they save their lives an property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah."

Those true followers of Muhammad whose mission and ambition is the conquest of all nations of the world, and subjugation of all peoples to Muhammad's followers. No faithful, bible believing, Jew or Christian can recognize "Allah's Apostle" as other than a false prophet, just as the Jews of Medina did 1400 years ago that were slaughtered for it.

"I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify ... that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly..." That means they are to fight against YOU, and YOUR children, and YOUR grandchildren! By supporting Muhammad's followers, at the expense of the "People of the Book", anti-Zionists of all stripes including atheists and agnostics are essentially consigning their heirs to being compelled to "testify that ... Muhammad is Allah's Apostle" while being made to prostrate themselves toward the Quraish pagan's black stone idol in Mecca and "...offer the prayers perfectly..." in what the Gospel describes as the "...vain repetitions of the heathen..." to the pagan Arabian's deity "Allah" five times a day. YOUR children, YOUR grandchildren - whatever your beliefs.

Sahih Al-Bukhari - "Jihad is holy fighting in Allah’s Cause with full force of weaponry. It is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its Pillars. By Jihad Islam is established, Allah is made superior and He becomes the only God who may be worshiped. By Jihad Islam is propagated and made superior. By abandoning Jihad (may Allah protect us from that) Islam is destroyed and Muslims fall into an inferior position. Their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, and Muslim rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim. He who tries to escape this duty dies as a hypocrite." page 580 of Maktba Dar-us-Salam's Sahih Al-Bukhari

Muslim hypocrites who have been deceived into believing that Islam is a religion of peace, and engage in Da'wah or spreading Islam, are actually laboring to be ruled by the likes of the Taliban, or whatever group emerges that is more murderous than they are. Who will ultimately win any debate between a peaceful hypocrite, and a true fundamental follower of Muhammad who disagrees with him, and holds a beheading knife in one hand and is supported by the Quran in his other hand? It's obvious that Satan will continue to win any such dispute. He even had an answer for those hypocrites who don't have the stomach for fighting in Allah's cause.

On one side is the only democracy in the Middle East, who's people are innovative, hard working, productive, highly literate, and share our western values, governed by citizens in freedom with the right to self-determination, and whose faithful worship Yahweh as He revealed Himself to them through the Old Testament scriptures. A country that shares our western values where Muslims enjoy more freedom, than Muslims do in any Islam controlled country on earth. A nation and people whose sovereignty, self-rule and independence, was supported by the world community as partial atonement for 2500 years of persecution of Jews while they were scattered among the Gentile nations.

On the other side are the people who reject those Old Testament scriptures as "corrupted", who's false prophet proclaimed the exact opposite of the whole subject of the Gospel, who commit the most egregious and only unpardonable sin (shirk) in Muhammad's "religion" if they confess that Jesus is the Son of God.

Those true followers of Muhammad who share Muhammad's goal of conquest and subjugation of all people to Muhammad's followers. The 1400 year long goal of Islam, as dictated by the Quran and Hadith, and as evidenced by the conquest of nearly the whole known world during the First Islamic Jihad, until stopped in France and Austria. A group that rejects the Scriptures, to follow Muhammad alone through his stand-alone 23 year 7th century record, whose faithful adherents are responsible for over 18,000 deadly Islamic terror attacks around the world, just since 9-11. Over two million killed or displaced in the Sudan alone, and recently another 1,000 Christians martyred on the Ivory Coast of Africa by the new Muslim government, and even more recently another 40 killed in church bombings in Nigeria on Christmas day 2011, with the "Arab Spring" slaughter, persecution and church burnings of Christians in Egypt, and rising tide of genocide of black immigrants in Libya now that it has been "liberated" - with 105 to 170,000 Christians being martyred around the world every year - of which none of the preceding have anything whatsoever to do with Zionism.

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live… The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities…but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa…and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”

Stunningly prophetic words as we see what is happening in the wake of the secularization of Europe since that was written. When the things of the Spirit of God are removed, the vacuum that results will always be filled with something, as witnessed through the genocide committed by communist and Islamic examples, of which neither ideology can stand the light of truth.

Unless these poor folks come to know the love of the one true God through a relationship with Jesus Christ, or He returns soon, Sweden may be ruled by Muhammad's followers within the next couple of generations, with Holland following close in their wake, and then the rest of Europe. You can Google and YouTube search the desperation of nationals like Gert Wilders who are witnessing rapidly vanishing cultures, peace and civility. Islamic conquest by immigration and overpopulating while living off the dole, and destroying the health care systems that those welfare states provide, through inbreeding. PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR THIS.

She was lucky, her parents told her when they planned the wedding, that she was to marry such a good man, a man from her own tribe, a man who would care for their children and make a good living. He was the son of her father's brother -- her first cousin -- and everyone, including the bride, agreed that ''a first cousin was a first choice,'' she said."

"The couple had two healthy boys, now 22 and 20, but their third child, a girl, was born with spinal muscular atrophy, a crippling and usually fatal disease that was carried in the genes of both parents. Their fourth, sixth and seventh children were also born with the disorder.

Sura 33:50-51 "O prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom God, has assigned to thee; and daughters of thy paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of thy maternal uncles and aunts..."

"Science and technology in Israel is one of the country's most developed sectors. The percentage of Israelis engaged in scientific and technological inquiry, and the amount spent on research and development (R&D) in relation to gross domestic product (GDP), is amongst the highest in the world.[44] Israel ranks fourth in the world in scientific activity, as measured by the number of scientific publications per million citizens. Israel's percentage of the total number of scientific articles published worldwide is almost 10 times higher than its percentage of the world's population.[45]

Israeli scientists have contributed to the advancement of agriculture, computer sciences, electronics, genetics, medicine, optics, solar energy and various fields of engineering. Israel is home to major players in the high-tech industry and has one of the world's most technologically-literate populations.[46] In 1998, Tel Aviv was named by Newsweek as one of the ten most technologically-influential cities in the world.[47]"

"In Egypt, at least 90 percent of women are believed to have undergone FGM [female genital mutilation]. In 2005, a report by UNICEF had claimed that 97 percent of Egyptian women aged 15-49 had undergone the operation. Here, the issue has been a source of controversy. A CNN broadcast from 1994, in which a 10-year-old girl in Egypt was shown being "operated upon" by an unskilled practitioner, caused a hostile reaction. Egypt sued CNN for $500 million for damaging its reputation, but the case was thrown out by courts.""

Whether Zionist or anti-Zionist it's unimaginable to me, that a person who is even remotely capable of independent thought and being honest with themselves for even a moment, could argue with Benjamin Netanyahu when he said: "If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel".

Over 3600 years ago the one true God of the bible - YHWH - Yahweh, gave to the seed of Abraham "all the land of Canaan" as an everlasting possession through an everlasting covenant that passed specifically through his son Isaac to Isaac's son Jacob - whom the Lord named "Israel" - and to his seed after him.

Genesis 17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. 8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

Abraham's wife Sarah believed herself to be too advanced in age to bear children, so she suggested to Abraham that he have a son with her handmaiden Hagar, to raise as their own. The Lord had previously told Sarah that He would allow her to bear a child, but she lacked faith in His words and had even laughed at the prospect, but just as the Lord had told her she would...

Genesis 21:1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. 2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. 3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. 4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him. 5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. 6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, [so that] all that hear will laugh with me. 7 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born [him] a son in his old age. 8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the [same] day that Isaac was weaned. 9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. 10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, [even] with Isaac. 11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son. 12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

Genesis 25:30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red [pottage]; for I [am] faint: therefore was his name called Edom. {with...: Heb. with that red, with that red pottage} {Edom: that is Red} 31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. 32 And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? {at...: Heb. going to die} 33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised [his] birthright.

Genesis 16:11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou [art] with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. 12 And he will be a wild man; his hand [will be] against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

The Promised Land has become the geopolitical focus of the world fulfilling boatloads of prophecy in the process. With the secular U.N. and the list of nations eager to facilitate the theft of more of the land of Israel - including our own administration - the following prophecy penned many hundreds of years before the Christian era reads more like a news headline, once again highlighting the two distinct camps surrounding Zionism.

Now that the followers of Muhammad and the secular anti-Zionists have likely clicked out of this video, and returned to planting their heads firmly back in the sand, let's look a little at the split within the "church" on Zionism. It isn't my intent to further divide the body of Christ, but to advance a search for truth, since Jesus IS truth, and all false doctrine is the work of Satan - the father of lies.

The division within the church regarding Zionism seems to be rooted in the eschatology a group adheres to, with partial-preterists and "replacement theology" generally coming down on the anti-Zionist side, and futurists supporting the Israeli Jews and Zionism. It is interesting to note that both of those nontraditional eschatologies, that were popularized in the 20th century, necessarily preclude even considering that Muhammad could be THE false prophet of the book of Revelation. This even as the most egregious - and only unpardonable - sin in Muhammad's religion is committed if a Muslim confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, while each and every Muslim must deny the crucifixion, death and resurrection of the Messiah and His atoning blood - the WHOLE SUBJECT of the Gospel - as an article of their faith in THE false prophet Muhammad.

"We treasure the precious words of Hezbollah and your expression of goodwill toward the American people. Also we praise your initiative for dialogue and mutual understanding. We cherish these statements that bring us closer to you. As an elder of our church, I'd like to say that according to my recent experience, relations and conversations with Islamic leaders are a lot easier than dealings and dialogue with Jewish leaders."

Whatever was exchanged at that meeting, it's apparent that these "church" "leaders" didn't have any idea as to what "taqiyyah", or Islamic subterfuge, dissimulation and lying in the way of Allah, is all about. The leaders of Hezbollah were likely telling them whatever kind of lie they thought they wanted to hear, while the Jewish leaders were giving it to them straight which is often not "easy". Did they know that Muhammad's followers are precluded from even making friends with them?

Suggesting a Muslim becomes "of" Jews and Christians. On that note, actual conversion to Christianity is punishable by death in Islamic tradition, and as practiced in some Islamic countries today as the penalty for "apostasy". Muhammad's followers are only allowed to create the appearance of friendship with a Jew or Christian with the singular goal of advancing Islam. That's also why a Muslim son is allowed to marry a Christian woman, some hoping to subvert her Christian community, while the daughter of a fundamental follower of Muhammad - who is effectively the property of her father - would never be allowed to marry a Christian or Jew. If one even considers it, she may be killed by her own father, in what is ironically called an "honor killing". Which in truth, accomplishes the exact opposite, of preserving one's honor.

You'll learn that the practice of capturing and enslaving Africans is still practiced in many areas controlled by Muhammad's true followers that get Islam, because slavery will always be OF Islam because Muhammad engaged in it, and their books prescribe it. Pressing Africans into slavery wasn't "officially" outlawed in Saudi Arabia and Yemen until 1962, UAE 1963, and Oman in 1970, and then only because of outside pressure because the rest of the world doesn't follow Muhammad.......yet. Traditionally this was one of the most important tools for spreading Islam because even if the first generation of slaves resisted, the second generation would have been exposed to enough indoctrination, to follow Muhammad.

Quran Surah 4:157 That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-

Try a search - divestment from Israel - to find the usual liberal suspects that include the Presbyterian Church, World Council of Churches, United Church of Christ, Church of England and the United Church of Canada, with the Anglican and Episcopal churches at least having discussed divestment. Groups of malleable university students that join them include the Muslim Student Union and the "Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction Campaign". The Nazis boycotted Jewish businesses as well. No surprise then that today's anti-Zionists include skinheads, Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan, to name a few.

I believe those irrevocable gifts referenced include the everlasting covenants Yahweh has with the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob including the "everlasting" land covenant of Israel. Yet some in the "church" are working overtime to advance the displacement of the "People of the Book" from the land Yahweh gave us, with Gentiles that profess the exact opposite of the whole subject of the Gospel as an article of their faith in the false prophet Muhammad, who prostrate themselves toward the Quraish pagan's black stone idol in Mecca five times a day, and are committed to wiping the Jews out and turning Israel into another Islamist slave state.

Even though Muhammad's followers are prevented from befriending Christians and Jews this certainly doesn't mean that Christians are precluded from befriending them. Indeed we are called to love everyone. But encouraging them to remain on a path, that is in the opposite direction of the Gospel, is a peculiar way to express one's love for them. Since Jesus IS TRUTH any discussion comparing religions needs to begin IN TRUTH and honesty, with Sura 4:157. After the immediate and irreconcilable opposite nature to the Gospel is exposed, it might help to then point out that there is no historical or archaeological evidence that suggests that Mecca ever existed before the 4th century AD - inviting them to search the web for some such evidence - and that Islamic so-called "tradition" was all created in the 7th to 10th centuries without reference to any actual historical record from before the 6th century AD, yet it poses as thousands of years of pre-Muhammad history. This even as archaeological evidence ever-increasingly demonstrates the Scriptures to be a reliable record of ancient history.

In response to their inevitable charge that the bible has been "corrupted", it is constructive point out that one would have to believe that its whole subject had somehow become the exact opposite of what it had been - through an entire rewrite - both in the Gospel and in Old Testament prophecy. This even though by Muhammad's 7th century, the Gospel had been translated into every popular language, copied tens of thousands of times, and had been read all over the known world for centuries, when Muhammad committed what his followers can only imagine as the blunder of reciting:

Since the Gospel preached throughout the whole known world in the 7th century was the same as it remains today, any claim that the Gospel is corrupted suggests their own "prophet's" recommendation was foolish, since the whole subject of that Gospel is the exact opposite of Muhammad's declaration that "they killed him not, nor crucified him".

That's the testimony of four Apostles, one of whom was an eye witness, and all of whom were contemporary to the time. Shouldn't any sitting around a campfire and singing kumbaya with Muhammad's followers, be intended to help them overcome the delusion they suffer, by following THE false prophet Muhammad? Isn't pretending there is common ground between Christianity and the only anti-another-religion "religion" - by design - encouraging them to continue on their path, while trivializing the blood of Jesus in the process?

Revelation 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; 9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.

Romans 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.

Since Islam crosses racial and ethnic lines, rather lashing out with lies and false accusations why not comment constructively by pointing out which part of the preceding is untrue? Please review the links in the drop-down menu for more on Islam in Muhammad's followers own words.

Genesis 16:1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name [was] Hagar. 2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. 3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife. 4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. 5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong [be] upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.

Could throwing the "People of the Book" under the bus while praising Hezbollah, and advancing interfaith pluralism such as the "chrislam movement". Consider the fate of those who "receive not the love of the truth". While I believe the opening reference may be a reference to Muhammad, how many other groups might be spoken about here?

2Th 2:9 [Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
